Test subjects have been seen being burned en masse or if they do make it out they are deformed beyond recognition, barely human. Once the remaining soldiers in the team make the perilous trip from the landing site to the village; Ford (Wyatt Russell), Boyc

It is not only that but May also marks the one year anniversary of BRAIN BITES BLOG!! I just wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you to everyone that has visited this blog (even if it was by mistake 😅) or have liked, shared or commented on any of our content on the socials over the year. We may be undead but it still means a lot to us behind the scenes and only fuels our hunger for more braiiiiinnnsss … erm, and zombie movies!  Over the course of this past year we've not only covered a varied collection of modern zombie movies but featured a couple of zombie related musical retrospectives and also called in some friends for their input on some classic zombie movies. You can expect more of the same this coming year really,  and maybe a couple of other interesting things if they tickle our fancy! Got anything zombie r
